In this practice-oriented workshop, participants will practice the Seven Core Skills with their own documents. In the first half of the session, participants will review the Seven Core Skills by examining how these apply to a CarmenCanvas Course Announcement. In the second half of the workshop, our time will be split between practicing remediation with participants’ own documents and working through common problems in documents. During the second half, accessibility and ed tech experts will be available to answer questions or document unexpected difficulties so that staff can prepare additional guidance where needed. Participants will be encouraged to join a breakout room or small group (2-3 people) to learn from each other and enable facilitators to provide support. Participants will leave the session with the sample Course Announcement remediation instructions, their own revisions to their document, and a target list of questions or to-do list items to help them plan for Spring 2026.
After this workshop participants will be able to:
- name and describe the Seven Core Skills for Digital Accessibility
- apply the Core Skills to a CarmenCanvas Announcement
- identify which Core Skills are most important for their course or discipline and will be able to assess their comfort in using these Skills
- annotate their course materials for revision or remediation using the Seven Core Skills.
